Kathleen Elliot creates her glass work based on her concept of the American culture. These concepts include taking the American Dream, trying to get ahead, the achievement of money, beauty and perfect children, mass production products, machine produced things, Hollywood in facets of every day life with its surgically altered fantasy of the movie stars and their dreams of perfection. Her inspiration comes from flower petals, the veins in the leaves, the changing colors of autumn leaves, and seed pods. She wants her art to inspire and to awe us with the simple things that can occur in life. Kathleen wants to remind us of these things, and to appreciate and be grateful for them. Her piece entitled “We’re All On The Same Tree” reminds us from whence we came, that in life we may take different form from another person but in the end we all start from the same place and we all end in the same place.
